The Growth of the Consultancy Model and the Future of SME Law Firms

The increase in consultant firms we are seeing is reshaping mid-market and high street operations, with existing business models at risk of being disrupted. As a result, SME law firms are under increased pressure to adopt and align with this strategy – investing in IT infrastructure and reducing back-office costs.
But when most firms are facing historic lows in available cash, with partners generally reluctant to commit additional capital, what are the options to survive and thrive in a shifting market?
Watch this webinar for a debate on whether the consultancy model is threatening the future of traditional operations and if SME law firms can remain competitive by optimising and prioritising the following tech initiatives:
- Technology transformation as a strategic imperative
- Evolving ways of addressing critical technology needs
- The changing nature of work and its implications for talent and culture
- Governance requirements for shifting risks and opportunities
